Nice Air Operation Procedure Cessna 172 1 In The Beginning

• Check how many hours remains for next 100 h inspection and check squawk before take airplane. • Perform pre-flight inspection using check list. Report to the front desk if you need fuel, oil or found some- thing need to be checked by mechanic. • If the hobbs meter doesn’t much with the one in the tach sheet, report to front desk or instructor before start the engine. • Pull out the airplane with tow bar before start the engine. Use tow bar by one hand and pull the airplane by other hand. After pull out, make sure tow bar is stored in the baggage compartment. • Do not grab the dash board or post to adjust the seat position. Grab the bottom of instrument panel or win- dow frame. • Grab the window frame to close the door. Do not use the black strap to close the door. • Use both hand to open the door. Sometimes the wind blow out the door. • Do not put anything on the dash board. It will make scratch on the window shield and affect magnetic com- pass deviation. • After secure the seat belt and shoulder harness, put the remaining belt in between the legs. • The toes must be kept at the bottom of the rudder pedal unless it is necessary to use the brake. Try to mini- mize the use of the brake during taxi. • Make tear drop entry and take #1 spot in run up area if possible to maximize the run up area. • Before landing, make sure toes don’t touch the brakes. • After landing, perform after landing check list. • After come back to the parking, keep airplane parallel to the center line. DO NOT TURN in the parking row. • Use tow bar to park the airplane. NEVER push the tail and move the airplane. Instructor must help the student to park the airplane. • Use securing check list. • If the hobbs meter stop in the middle of two numbers, take higher number. • If you find any deficiency, make entry in the squawk sheet and report to the front desk.

Clearing turn

Complete 90 degrees turn to the left, and 90 degrees turn to the right. Depend on the airspace and terrain, right turn may be the first. Watch the blind spot on the left, right, behind and below. Bank should be 15 to 20 degrees.

Copy Right Nice Air 2575 Robert Fowler Way, San Jose, CA 95148 Phone(408)729-3383 Nice Air Operation Procedure Cessna 172 4 Slow Flight

Entry 1. Carburetor heat-On. 2. Throttle-1500 RPM, maintain altitude. As you reduce power, you should anticipate pitch down and yaw to the right Don’t watch tachom- eter needle to move from cruise to 1500RPM. Look at the horizon and cowling as you use peripheral vision. Adjust control pressure to avoid nose from dropping and adjust rudder to keep the heading constant. 3. Airspeed 80kt-Flap 10 70kt-Flap 20 60kt-Flap 30 The extension of flap cause nose to move up. If you allow it, you will gain altitude and airspeed decreases too quick. Anticipate this and you need to add slight forward pressure on the control wheel to avoid this. Watch horizon and cowling. Don’t fix your eyes on the airspeed indicator and the flap switch. After you set full flap, you need to apply back pressure to keep the altitude constant. 4. Airspeed 40kt-2000 RPM Add right rudder as you add power to compensate the left turning tendency. PTS require you to main- tain minimum controllable airspeed which is almost 35kt for C172. However, you need to be able to fly at any speed. Use trim. After this point, generally, pitch controls airspeed and power controls altitude. Remember the pitch attitude which gives you 35 kt.

Climb Apply full power. Adjust pitch to maintain the airspeed. Add right rudder to maintain the heading. For level off, reduce power necessary to maintain the altitude. Adjust pitch to maintain the airspeed.

Descent Reduce power as necessary. Adjust pitch to maintain the airspeed. Reduce right rudder to maintain the head- ing. For level off, add power necessary to maintain the altitude. Adjust pitch to maintain the airspeed. Add right rudder to compensate the left turning tendency.

Turn Use 10 degrees bank. For the right turn, you need to use more right rudder because of the left turning tenden- cy. On the other hand, the left turn dose not require much left rudder. Just reduce right rudder a little bit.

Recovery 1. Throttle-Full, maintain the altitude. Add right rudder to compensate the left turning tendency. Adjust pitch “gradually” to maintain the alti- tude. Don’t push nose down quickly. Pitch should be changed slowly from slow flight attitude(high) to cruise attitude(level). Look at the horizon and cowling as you scan the altimeter. 2. Carburetor heat-Off, Flap-20 3. Airspeed 60kt-Flap 10 4. Airspeed 70kt-Flap Up The flap retraction cause the nose to move down. You need to anticipate and add back pressure as necessaryto maintain the altitude. As airspeed increases, you don’t need much right rudder anymore. Reduce right rudder as needed. 5. Airspeed 80kt-Throttle CruiseReturn to cruise flight. Use trim.

Entry 1. Carb heat-On 2. Throttle-1500 RPM Maintain altitude 3. Airspeed 80kt-Flap 10 70kt-Flap 20 60kt-Flap 30 1 through 3 are same as slow flight. 4. Start descend at 60 kt 5. Throttle-Idle Increase back pressure to keep altitude to reach stall. If you do this too gentle, it will not stall because the airflow over the elevator is too slow to create enough tail down force to cause stall.

Recovery 1. Release back pressure. You don’t need to push nose down too steep. 2. Throttle-Full, Maintain level flight attitude. Don’t look inside the cockpit. Your right hand is already on the throttle. Just move it forward. Look horizon and cowling. Adjust control pressure to establish level flight attitude. 3. Carb heat-Off, Flap-20 After retract the flap to 20, return your right hand on the throttle. Wait for the airspeed to increase as you maintain level flight attitude. 4. Airspeed 60kt(Vx), Climb attitude Look at horizon and the cowling to establish normal climb attitude. And wait. 5. Positive climb-Flap 10 Avoid pitch change caused by flap retraction. 6.

Entry 1. Carb heat-On 2. Throttle-1500 RPM Maintain altitude 3. Airspeed 55kt-Throttle Full, Carburetor heat-Off, Climb attitude (slightly higher than normal climb at- titude) No need to pull nose up very high. If the nose is too high, it will drop a lot and lose excessive altitude after stall. To avoid this, maintain the pitch slightly higher than normal climb attitude at which air- speed is decreasing gradually(about 15 degrees up). Add back pressure to keep this pitch attitude con- stant as airspeed decrease. Look at the horizon on the both side of the cowling to judge your attitude. Also, add right rudder as airspeed goes down to keep coordinate.

Recovery 1. Release back pressure 2. Maintain level flight attitude. Release back pressure gently to return to the level pitch. Wait for the airspeed to increase. 3. Airspeed 60kt(Vx), Climb attitude 4. Positive climb-Airspeed 73kt(Vy)-Level off. Since the power on stall is the simulation of the departure stall, the altitude you begin this maneuver is the airport elevation. During recovery, you shouldn’t go below the original altitude. If you do so, that mean you crash on the ground. You should finish this maneuver at higher altitude than you begin. 5. Airspeed 80kt-Throttle Cruise

Calculate weight and balance before the flight and figure out the lift-off speed and the target speed at 50 ft AGL.

1. Set flap as required by P.O.H. ( see the table below). 2. Taxi to the very beginning of the runway. Depend on the traffic situation, you don’t need to taxi all the way to the beginning of the runway. You can taxi into position as normal takeoff. 3. Set brake. Full power. Check engine gauges. Pump brake a couple of time before apply full power to prevent the airplane from moving. 4. Release brake. 5. Rotate at selected speed. Set pitch up for the target speed. Try not to chase the airspeed indicator needle. Remember, airspeed indicator has lag. If you chase, airspeed may be too slow or too fast. 6. At 50ft AGL, lower the nose slightly. Again, don’t chase the needle of airspeed indicator. Look at the pitch attitude. Make small change in the pitch. You still want to climb. Don’t descend. 7. 60kt, flap up (N212AN, N9568G). Check “positive rate of climb” before retract. Once you retract the flap, pitch will change. Be prepare for that. 8. Climb at Vy. Resume normal climb.

1. Set 10 degrees flap. 2. Elevator full up 3. Taxi into the runway with minimum brake. No need to stop on the runway unless advised by the tower. 4. Join the center line. Apply full power. Check engine gauges. 5. Release elevator back pressure as airspeed increases to attach the engine cowling to the end of the runway If the other end of the runway is covered by the cowling, your nose is too high. You don’t need to keep nose very high. The purpose is to reduce the weight on the nose gear. 6. After lift off itself, release back pressure to stay in the ground effect. Don’t push nose down. You will descend very quick. Look at the horizon and the cowling like you recover from slow flight. Pitch motion should be very slow. 7. At Vy (or Vx if there is an obstacle), Climb attitude. 8. Positive climb, flap up. Flap retraction causes the nose to drop. Anticipate this and adjust control pressure to avoid this. 9. Climb at Vy. Resume normal climb.

1. Approach as normal. 2. Select proper aiming pilot. You need to touch down +200/-0ft (+100/-0ft for commercial) from the point you select. 3. On short final, full flap and maintain 60kt at least last 1/4 mile on final. You don’t need to make steep or shallow approach. Just maintain normal approach path all the way to the runway number. 4. Clear the brake Make sure that your toes doesn’t touch the brake. Your toe must be on the lower part of the pedal to avoid locking the tire. 5. Reduce power, flare touchdown. Do as you do for normal landing. If your approach was correct, it will touch down the point. If your approach was wrong, there is no way to correct at this point. Do no try to touch down on the point by lowering the nose or by releasing back pressure. You will land flat and damage the airplane. If you think you will over shoot, commence go around and make the better approach next time. 6. After touch down, as you maintain directional control, retract the wing flap and use NORMAL BRAKE. In real short field situation, you may need to use full brake. However, during training, we want to avid locking the brake, making flat spot on the tires caused by improper use of “ full brake”. You call out “Full brake” and use normal brake instead of full.

Copy Right Nice Air 2575 Robert Fowler Way, San Jose, CA 95148 Phone(408)729-3383 Nice Air Operation Procedure Cessna 172 23 Soft Field Landing

1. Approach as normal(65kt on final with full flap). 2. Clear the brake Make sure that your toes doesn’t touch the brake. Your toe must be on the lower part of the pedal to avoid locking the tire. 3. Reduce power for flare. 4. Just before touch down(after the pitch attitude is higher the horizon), add a little bit of power(100 to 200RPM). 5. After touch down, hold back pressure to keep nose off. Then reduce power to idle.

Copy Right Nice Air 2575 Robert Fowler Way, San Jose, CA 95148 Phone(408)729-3383 Nice Air Operation Procedure Cessna 172 24 No Flap Landing

Select the arrow marking before the threshold as the aiming point(at RHV). 1. Before landing check. 2. Set throttle 1400RPM, check airspeed, pitch for 70kt, Start descend. 3. Turn base. Maintain 70kt. Fly normal glide path. Turn final. Maintain 70kt. Fly normal glide path.1. thorough 5. Since your aiming point is before threshold, VASI will be red over pink on final though you are making normal descent. But you don’t want to be too low. Check altitude when you turn base, final to verify your descent path. Adjust power and pitch as necessary to maintain the path. 4. Adjust power to maintain normal path. When there is strong head wind, you can maintain correct flight path by adjusting power. When there is no head wind, for example in the morning, you will be too high even though your power is idle. Don’t push nose down too much. Otherwise you can’t keep 70kt. Pitch attitude for 70kt without flap is higher than the attitude for normal landing with flap. So, keep nose high enough to maintain 70kt, check airspeed frequently, adjust power. 5. Use forward slip as necessary. If the path is too shallow with power idle, use forward slip before it’s too late. 6. Clear the brake. 7. Close throttle, flare, touch down. 8. Lower the nose, maintain directional control, brake. Use caution for the brake. Since the airspeed is faster than normal, it requires more distance to stop. Don’t lock the tire. 9. Taxi out, clear the runway, stop, after landing check.

Forward Slip

You can use forward slip with and without flap to lose excessive altitude or to lose airspeed. However, as placarded, avoid slip with flap extended because the rate of descend will be very steep with full flap.

1. Align with center line. Set up the airspeed (70kt no flap, 65kt with flap). 2. Reduce power to idle. 3. Use rudder opposite to the wind, aileron into wind, , lower the nose to keep airspeed. Make sure the nose points downwind side. The airspeed indication for the right slip and left slip is deferent because of the position of the static port.
